Praised by 7x7 Magazine as "one of SF's more daring voices" and one of "the 7 funniest people in town," she was just named the 2011 “Best Comedian with a Message” by the East Bay Express. Along with fellow bay area comics W. Kamau Bell and Nato Green, Janine is part of Laughter Against the Machine, a grassroots comedy tour to America's most volatile political hotspots. Her upcoming 2012 festival appearances include Sketchfest in San Francisco, and the Glasgow International Comedy Festival. A sarcastic, snarky smart bomb of comedy funk straight from the 80's, Janine has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle and The SF Weekly called her “a mean lesbian.” But she’s pretty sure that they meant it in a good way.
